Things We Need To Tell Growing Up Girls To Raise Them To Be Strong Women

It is the 21st Century and the society has grown up quite a bit. Women are being empowered, taking leadership roles and breaking stereotypes on a daily basis. However, this still doesn’t mean that the society has become an equal space as women still battle sexism and misogyny. Girls are raised with a certain idea about how they have women are supposed to be and it does hinder their social growth as they find themselves internalizing the ideas of a patriarchal world.

Things can change only if young girls are given the right life lessons that enable them to grow into strong women. Here are things you need to tell the young girls around you to make sure they grow up into strong women:

1. They’re not put on this planet to be someone’s daughter, sister, wife or mother. They’re their own individual self.

2. They’re body is theirs and they can wear a skirt or a saree depending on their choice instead of giving in to the ideas about how a girl should dress up.
